I spend so much effort to find this. I am not sure whether it is true.

The scene with a man doing tai chi...I suspect it is Lou Lim Ieoc Garden from Macau, next to Hong Kong

I find some additional information...If what I find is true, there should have been an art exhibition held there.The chinese wording is the theme of that exhibition.It started from 18/11/2006 to 17/12/2006. According to what I find, it is closed on Monday.Based on the information, I think the teams arrived on 12/12

I read the "lesiure" word only...I don't know if it is related to the exhibition.

Nice one, Schwarzmoor! I remember the Chinese name of the exhibition: 花草閒拾. Fits the one in the caps!

I was RIGHT THERE just days (12 December 2006) before they were!

On another note, can anyone tell what language this is? The clip isn't recycled footage, and it doesn't fit into the languages we already have on the course (Spanish, Polish and Portuguese use the Roman/Cyrillic alphabet, and that most definitely isn't Chinese). I'm positive it's from the Mon-Khmer family, but which one?

Lao numerals

Khmer numerals

Thai numerals

Found out that Neobie in Chinese means "f*king awesome"! No, really. Look it up!

Dahg gahn it, the one pix I had a sure thing for and I get beat to it! Lazienki Park is also the site of many other best known Warsaw attractions including the Chopin Monument, Palace on the Water, Myslewicki Palace and The White House. Many tasks could be done in the area.

The Golden Boy is a recycle from Moscow and is a Close up of the statue of Peter the Great upon his ship which is located in the Moscow River nerar the Kremlin.

Can't spot any other European footage to clue other stops in Europe. Most shots seem to be recycled scenes once again.

A trip to MACAU accomplishes one goal for Amazing Race production - it keeps the racers somewhat out of sight. I believe that all the U.S. Amazing Races are shown just like the TAR Asia was on AXN locally in Hong Kong, so people in MACAU would be less able to recognize the racers. Macau still shows its history until 1999 as a Portuguese colony and is much less "cutting edge" than Hong Kong. The principal industry in Macau is gambling, which does draw visitors from Hong Kong. I recall taking the hydofoil (slightly over one hour each way) from Kowloon to Macau and return.
